I was wondering how the pool in Hawaii would be, but it was amazing! In Japan, the waiting time is usually longer, but here I was able to slide multiple times with hardly any wait. I opted for the premium deluxe, but since I didn't want to waste time having lunch and didn't drink enough to justify the free drinks, it might not be necessary. It was great to have priority access.
ハワイでプールってどう?と思っていましたが、最高でした!日本だと、並ぶ時間の方が長いですが、ほぼ並ばずに何度も滑れました。プレミアムデラックスにしましたが、ランチをとる時間が惜しいし、フリードリンクほど飲まないので、必要ないかも。優先で入れるのはとても良かったです。

We had no trouble even with our limited English skills. We rented an umbrella as an option, but it was difficult to set up due to the strong wind. When we rented on-site, the staff helped us set it up properly. The water at Hanauma Bay was definitely clearer and more beautiful than in Waikiki. Our child was very happy to see many different types of fish.
英語力のない私達でも不自由はありませんでした。オプションでパラソルを借りましたが、風が強く設置が大変でした。現地で借りるとスタッフがしっかりと設置してくれていました。ハナウマの海はワイキキより断然透明で美しかったです。子供はたくさんの種類の魚を見ることができ、とても喜んでいました。

I took my 1, 4, and 8-year-old children with me. There are various pools, and the kids enjoyed their favorite attractions. When it's sunny, the ground gets hot, so beach sandals are necessary. Don't forget to bring towels as well.
You can use a locker for $20, which allows you to access your belongings multiple times. Since the lockers are small, try to minimize the amount of luggage you bring.
Next, it's important to secure your transportation. I think booking a plan with shuttle service is a good idea.
We only purchased entrance tickets and arranged our own transportation. The taxi from Waikiki cost $120, which was way too expensive, so we decided to take the bus back. However, we couldn't find our way to the intended transition center, so we ended up using a ride-sharing service, which cost $60.
When we tried to take the bus back, various people were curious and cheered us on, saying "Good luck!" It might not be the most practical option.
1、4、8歳の子供を連れて行きました。
様々なプールがあり子供達はお気に入りのアトラクションを楽しみました。
晴れると地面が暑くなるのでビーチサンダルは必要です。タオルも持参しましょう。
ロッカーは20ドル払えば何回も荷物の出し入れが出来ます。ロッカーは小さいため持参する荷物は最小限にしましょう。
次に大切なことは移動手段を確保しておくことです。送迎付きのプランを予約するのも手かと思います。
我々は入場券のみ購入し、交通手段は自分達で手配しました。
行きはワイキキからタクシーで120ドルでした。あまりにも高すぎたため、帰りはバスで帰ろうとしました。
しかし目的とするトランジションセンターまでどうやっても歩いて辿り着けなかった為、配車サービスで帰りました。60ドルでした。
バスで帰ろうとしたら色々な人から珍しがられ、頑張って!と言われました。あまり現実的な手段ではないかもしれません。

Highlight was the Polynesian show. Food was ok, deserts were good. Complimentary drinks were average. Purchased drinks were pricey. Overall, did not get to see much of a sunset by being busy with the food and the show. It felt more like sitting in a restaurant since the boat was moving slow and sturdy unless you come out to grab the food.

I didn't expect to line up for tickets on the day instead of making a reservation online. However, since I was able to go as planned, I am mostly satisfied.
Considering the timing, it was just right to have an 11 AM pickup with my 6 and 9-year-old children. The person in charge provided various explanations and guidance throughout the car ride. Other Japanese guests were using translation apps, but since I didn't use one, I only understood parts of the conversation. I wish I had downloaded the app. My children had a very enjoyable time and it seems to have left a lasting impression on them. They said they want to go see the fish again.
ネット予約でチケットとっているのではなく当日チケットに並ぶとは思っていませんでした。が予定通りに行けたのでほぼ満足です。
時間的には6歳9歳の子供がいたので11時ピックアップでちょうどよかったと思います。担当の方も車中ずーと色々と説明、案内してくださっていました。他の日本人は翻訳アプリで聞いていましたが、翻訳アプリ使用しなかったので所々しかわからず。アプリを入れておけば良かったと思いました。子供たちにはとても楽しい時間になり印象に残ったようです。またお魚見に行きたいと行っています。

- We participated as a family of four: two adults and two children (ages 9 and 6).
- It's better to have at least a basic level of English conversation skills.
- We had the same driver for both trips. We gave a tip after getting off on the return trip.
- It was a bit chilly when we got to the beach, possibly due to the slightly bad weather. The children were shivering.
- Although we saw many fish in the shallow waters just a few meters from the beach, it wasn't very impressive.
・家族4人で参加。大人2、子供2(9歳,6歳)。
・日常会話程度の英語力はあった方がいい。
・往復同じドライバーさんだった。チップは復路の降車後に渡した。
・少し天気が悪かったせいか、浜に上がると少し寒かった。子供は震えていた。
・浜から数メートルの浅瀬にしては多くの魚が見れたが、感動はなかった。

Too long of a time before the food. The moving from station To station to see the different classes. Should be performed on the stage during wait time. When it was time to eat it was crazy. I was told they would call tables at a time. Didn't happen. It was a stampede..Food was taken away quickly. Just seemed uncoordinated the customer service seemed unapproachable.
Best part was the exit out of the venue.. but wait that was my doing.

Although the opening hours are short, you can enjoy the slides without waiting in line as long as you have the stamina to climb the stairs.
There are only a few shaded chairs, so I recommend arriving early.
There are also several types of paid shaded seating, which are quite expensive.
As for the lockers, the instructions are available in Japanese, making them easy to use, but they cost $18 (which is high).
開園時間が短いもののスライダーは並ぶ事なく、階段を昇る体力さえあれば何度でも楽しめる。
日陰げのチェアは数ヶ所しかないので早めに行く事をお勧めします。
かなりお高いが有料の日陰げ席も何種類かあります。
それからロッカーは使用方法が日本語にもなるので簡単だけど、$18(高)

It wasn't bad. However, I wonder about being asked for a tip for the conductor at the end of the tour. It would be more acceptable for someone like me, who is Japanese and not accustomed to tipping, if the tip was included in the total price from the beginning.
悪くは無かったです。但し、ツアーの最後にコンダクターへのチップを請求されるのは、如何なものかと思います。それなら、最初からチップ代金込みで代金を組成した方が、チップ習慣が無い日本人としては納得できると思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. Regarding your comments about tipping, tips are a gesture of appreciation from customers to staff for the service provided during the tour, so they cannot be added to the tour fee before participation. If you enjoyed the tour at the end, you can decide the amount and give it to the staff as a tip. This is a custom that is not common in Japan, but since our company is based in the United States, we hope you can understand this American practice. Thank you for your feedback.
ツアーにご参加及びレビューのご記入ありがとうございます。
ご意見のチップですが、チップはツアーにご参加頂いたお客様から、スタッフへのサービスに対してのお心づけとなりますので、ツアーご参加前にツアー代金に加算すことはできません。ツアー最後に楽しんで頂けたようでしたらお客様に金額を決めて頂きスタッフに渡して頂くのがチップとなります。日本にはない習慣になりますが、弊社はアメリカの会社になりますので、アメリカの習慣をご理解頂けたら幸いです。ご意見ありがとうございました。

With the bay...
Fish weren't as plentiful as the pictures...by a long shot.
Perhaps planning on being there at high tide would help with making the space easier to snorkel.
Interesting process getting into the bay.
Great friendly service from the crew we booked with helping us manage these processes at the bay.
Food and drink options there are slim and no where to sit and eat them as you wait for transport back.

The tour guide on the drive out was great, very friendly. Gear worked well and was clean. We got chairs and an umbrella which was really nice since we were there a while. I didn’t love the actual bay, however. The snorkeling was only okay and we didn’t see nearly as many types of fish as I would have expected for a place boosting great snorkeling. I have been to better. The reef was also super shallow so hard to navigate around the sections safely without touching the coral. It also was very sandy so the view wasn’t clear. Overall I would not pick this activity again just since the snorkeling wasn’t great. However, the driver and equipment was great so I didn’t want to knock their rating down just because the experience wasn’t amazing.
